PLEASE CALL IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY! How much more
disgusting do corrupt politicians have to be? Phyllis
Mains
The pro-drilling lobby in Congress is at it again, and this
time, they're exploiting our armed forces to open the Arctic
Refuge to oil drilling. Some members of Congress
are trying to sneak a provision into the defense spending bill
that would open the Arctic Refuge to destructive oil drilling.
The Defense Appropriations bill is intended
to support American men and women in uniform, not open a
national treasure like the Arctic Refuge to oil and gas
development. This is a shameless exploitation of our
troops for the sake of oil company profits.
Please call your Senators right now to let
them know that you're outraged at this sneaky backdoor attempt
to allow drilling in our Arctic Refuge.
Your
Senators' phone numbers are below:
Chuck
Grassley
(202) 224-3744
Tom Harkin
(202)
224-3254
Here are a few talking points for your
phone call:
- Drilling in the refuge has nothing to do with defense
spending.
- Please do everything in your power to keep the drilling
lobby in Congress from hijacking the Defense Appropriations
bill!
Once you've made your call, click
here to let us know how it went.
Over the
past few months SaveOurEnvironment.org supporters have sent
thousands of emails and faxes, made phone calls, written
letters to the editor, attended rallies, and donated money to
protect the Arctic Refuge. Your hard work has kept
provisions for drilling out of the federal budget so far, but
the fight isn't over yet!
Pro-drilling members of
Congress will stop at nothing to open the Arctic Refuge to oil
drilling, including hijacking a bill that funds our troops in
a time of war. It's a dirty trick, and we cannot
let Congress get away with it!
The next 24
hours will be a critical time for the Arctic Refuge.
Please don't wait - call your Senators today to help
us stop this war against the Arctic Refuge.
Once you've made your phone call, please click
here to let us know how it went. Then forward this
message to at least ten friends and family urging them to call
their Senators as well.
Thanks so much for all you have
done to protect the Arctic Refuge!
